However, I believe he has moved on to other ventures and no longer makes them. If he doesn't, CLICK HERE for a thread that shows how to piece together your own relays and such. Not very hard, as the diagrams explain it fairly well. Go through the entire thread though, as there are 2 variations of diagrams, and a even a 3rd one that includes keeping the fogs on.

Default Wiring diagram

Here's a wiring diagram from the harness that came with some ACA style
housings (there were two harnesses, one for each side of course):



Notice the diode between the low and high beam connectors.
It keeps the relay for the low beams powered when you switch to
the high beams and doesn't allow the high beams to be on when
you are just on low beams.
Note too that the relay and fuses are actually plug-ins, but wouldn't
have to be. I haven't been able to figure out why they used a fuse
on each side of the relay... seems redundant.
